BBB - for big bad Boonen?It could be argued that there is no rider with more rock-star allure than Belgium's Tom Boonen. Admittedly, he could wear $10 cheapies from the local supermarket and still look cool, but with a head that's photographed as many times as his, why do that?

The Dutch company, BBB Parts, sponsors the whole Quick.Step Team and has designed its new BSG-23 especially for big Tom. They have a flexible and lightweight Grilamid frame; adjustable metal nose piece and interchangeable polycarbonate lenses with 100% UV protection.

The Boonen specials are white with the world champion rainbow stripes on the bands. Of course, after stage three of the Tour you may have noticed that Boonen wore a new yellow version of the glasses, while he leading the race. They come with smoke blue revo lenses and also three extra lenses; orange, yellow and clear with a flash mirror coating, and a carrying case.
